Specification of Letters Eatentl Application filed November 8, 1913.Serial No. 799,962.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THEODORE E. BUECH- min, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia andState of Pennsylvania, have in vented new and useful Improvements inNon-Refillable Bottles, of which the followine is a specification.

The invention relates to bottles, and more particularly to the class ofnon-refillable bottles- The primary object of the invention is theprovision of an attachment for a bottle neck wherein the fluid orcontents of the bottle can freely flow therefrom, but should an attemptbe made to refill the bottle the inflow of fluid to thebottle will beinterrupted, thus discouraging a person in attempting to refill thebottle, thereby obviating the possibility of the surreptitious fillingof the bottle after the contents thereof has been once used.

Another object of the invention is the pro vision of an attachment forbottles which is of novel form to allow the free discharge of thecontents of a bottle, yet will interrupt the filling of the bottle withsubstitute liquid after the original contents has been dispensedtherefrom.

A further object of the invention is the provision of an attachment forbottles which.

is simple in construction, reliable and ellicient in its purpose, andinexpensive in manufacture.

.Vith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in theconstruction, combination and arrangement of parts as will behereinafter fully described. illustrated in the accompanying drawing,and pointed out in the claim hereunto appended.

In the drawing :Figure 1 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view of abottle,

showing the attachment constructed in accordance with the inventionmounted in its neck. Fig. 2 is a sectional View on the line 22 ofFig. 1. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4: isa sectional view on the line 4-4 of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a perspective viewof the attachment removed from the bottle neck.

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout theseveral views in the drawing. I

Referring to the drawing in detail, A designates a portion of the bodyof a bottle, B the neck thereof having in the wall of its bore C innerand outer annular grooves or channels 5 and 6 respectively, for thefastening in the said bore C of the attachment hereinafter more fullydescribed. The attachment comprises a cylindrical body orcage 7preferably constructed from glass, the outer wall of which is formedwith channels or grooves 8 near opposite ends thereof which are adaptedto aline with the channels or groo es 5 and 6 in the neck. these groovesbeing designed to receive rings or washers 9 which are seated thereinand firmly fasten the body or cage 7 within the neck of the bottle. Thebody or shell 7 has formed at its inner end a frusto-conical shapednozzle 10 which projects outwardly into the bore 11 in the body orshell, which bore is formed with an outwardly tapered outer end 12opening through the center of the said body and forms a passage-way forthe liouid to flow through the bod or shell. the liquid being passedthrough the nozzle 10 from the bottle into the bore in the body orshell, and is discharged through the tapered outer end 12 and mouth ofthe neck B of the bottle.

Arranged medially within the bore 11 in the body or shell 7 in alinementwith the central axis thereof is a solid cone .13 havingintegrallyformed therewith outwardly eX- tending radial wings or spider webs 14:which are integrally formed with the wall of the body or shell 7. theinner end of the solid cone 13 being formed with an inwardly taperedsocket or recess 15 into which projects for a distance the smaller endof the nozzle 10, the solid cone 13 being designed to serve as a guardfor the said nozzle so as to avoid the inserting of a flexible tube intothe nozzle for the filling of the bottle after its original contents hasbeen dispensed therefrom.

From the foregoing it is thought that the construction and manner ofoperation of the invention will be clearly understood, and therefore amore extended explanation has been omitted.

What is claimed is The combination with the neck of a bottle, of anattachment comprising a cylindrical body having a bore formed with anoutwardly tapered outer end, a truncated cone projected within the innerend of the bore in the body and integral with the latter, a

conical-shaped guard within the bore above the truncated end of the coneand having a Patented Feb. 23,1915.

conical-shaped recess receiving the truncated In testimon end ot thecone, saldguard being formed tune lnpresen With radial wings Joining theWall of the y whereof I affix my signace of two Witnesses.

boreQthe said truncated end vof the cone THEODORE BUECHLER' being ofconsiderably less size than the coni- Witnesses:
